Harry Reid’s Cap-and-Trade [Scam] Tax Grab - Greg Pollowitz - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Harry Reid wants to use the cap-and-trade tax revenue to fund health care, which makes one wonder: What happened to the energy rebates that President Obama promised to help mitigate the "skyrocketing" cost of electricity he promised from his energy policies?

Progressives do it with the Lights on! — Climate Resistance: Challenging Climate Orthodoxy

This, we think, shows how environmentalism has transformed or corroded old concepts and categories. Who are the conservatives, and who are the progressives?

Those who still protest that it is the CEI’s capitalism which drives their vision (well, d’uh) ought to ask themselves why the same, positive images of human achievement couldn’t be presented by a more Left perspective. Eco-centricism is anti-humanism. Keep the lights on!

If this is a pollutant, why isn't water a pollutant?: Carbon dioxide information from Answers.com

A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, formula CO2, about 1.5 times as heavy as air. Under normal conditions, it is stable, inert, and nontoxic...Solid CO2 is known as dry ice...
...
The atmospheric air we inhale contains virtually no carbon dioxide, whereas there is about 5% in the air we breathe out.
...
Plants use CO2 in photosynthesis to make carbohydrates.
...
In various parts of the world—notably in Italy, Java, and Yellowstone National Park in the United States—carbon dioxide is formed underground and issues from fissures in the earth. Natural mineral waters such as Vichy water sparkle (effervesce) because excess carbon dioxide that dissolved in them under pressure collects in bubbles and escapes when the pressure is released.

Carbon dioxide has varied commercial uses. Its greatest use as a chemical is in the production of carbonated beverages; it provides the sparkle in carbonated beverages such as soda water. Formed by the action of yeast or baking powder, carbon dioxide causes the rising of bread dough. The compound is also used in water softening, in the manufacture of aspirin and lead paint pigments, and in the Solvay process for the preparation of sodium carbonate. In some fire extinguishers carbon dioxide is expelled through a nozzle and settles on the flame, smothering it. It also has numerous nonchemical uses. It is used as a pressurizing medium and propellant, e.g., in aerosol cans of food, in fire extinguishers, in target pistols, and for inflating life rafts. Because it is relatively inert, it is used to provide a nonreactive atmosphere, e.g., for packaging foods, such as coffee, that can be spoiled by oxidation during storage. Solid carbon dioxide, known as dry ice, is used as a refrigerating agent.
